I've GOTTA--REGALLY--"REP-REE-ZENT!"

…
(I'm PERSONIFYING my leg-disability.
I'm- METAPHORICALLY "battling" my LACK OF nerve-responses in my legs.)


"Here come I--the Turkish KNIGHT.
I come from a Turkish land to FIGHT.
I will fight this man with courage BOLD.
If his blood is hot, I'll make it COLD.  ..."
(--'Return of the Native' by Thomas Hardy)


(… This excerpt is ABRIDGED and completely from my MEMORY.)


P.S.  I'm HALF-Turkish.
